Pretty soon, we're talking real money

[madbaker]

We have subsidized soda machines at work. About a year ago, they started carrying bottled water. My cow-orkers go through four or five bottles each every day.

While that's healthy of them, I don't understand the economics of it all. At a quarter apiece, it's not huge dollars but a buck a day is $20-25 per month. We live in the SF Bay Area and get our water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir. It's very pure - there was even a short-lived attempt to sell it.

Why would anyone spend money on bottled water when free stuff from the tap tastes as just good or better?

Hurricaines in Fluorida

How 'bout fluoride? Some of us hain't too excited about intentionally ingesting it. That's one reason I prefer bottled water when I'm in areas where they fluoridate. Fizzy water at that. If you're ever in Ireland, get a bottle of Ballygowan. Right tasty stuff.

That's a valid personal preference. The guys in question don't care, as far as I can tell.
